Heart Without Measure: Gurdjieff Work with Madame de Salzmann

by Ravi Ravindra

Heart Without Measure is a collection of excerpts from the journals of Ravi Ravindra, giving a glimpse of the extraordinary life and teaching of Madame Jeanne de Salzmann and the Gurdjieff work through the eyes of one of her pupils. Ravindra’s account of his meetings, letters and encounters with Madame de Salzmann is deeply intimate, yet it is not merely personal. His questions, doubts and insights are not unlike our own. In these recollections of a pupil, we hear Madame de Salzmann’s voice; the clarity of her perception and the force of her insight are evident throughout.

When I was reading this book, I was surprised by how similar my search is to this. I felt somebody else is talking my feelings, asking my questions and wondering the same things that I do!

A powerful spiritual memoir. Brings to us life from another era from people living in Gurdjieff's cosmic drama.

The movements movies mentioned in the book can be found online, perhaps making it possible to get a different glimpse.

L'insegnamento di Gurdjieff, addolcito e reso più umano dalla figura di M. de Salzmann e riportato da Ravi Ravindra, che scrive col cuore. Un modo bellissimo di andare alle basi del lavoro energetico e riscoprire chi è e come lavora una vera maestra.
